Trump incorrectly says that his father was born in Germany

[rightwinger]

Technically, Fred Trump was made in Germany. His parents lived in Germany when he was conceived; he was born three months after they immigrated to the U.S. So, saying he was German is accurate despite the confusion of his birthplace.

And as someone else noted, why is this even an issue? The fact that it is shows how desperate the Progs are to attack Trump.

And did you know he had Two Scoops of Ice Cream?

The issue is why Trump feels it is necessary to lie about it

 

[LoneLaugher]

At least he's not claiming to be Native American.

OH, BTW, I just found out my grandmother from my mom's side was FROM Denmark. I'm 62 and didn't know that. Does that make me a liar????

No. Moron.

What nonsense. How desperate you Trumpbots are to cover up his obvious, mental deterioration.

So where you are conceived is now akin to where you were born?

So if two Guatemalans conceive a child in America (but the child is born back in Guatemala), you think it would be 'accurate' to say the child was American?

Yes or no, please?

You're completely missing the point. Fred Trump's parents were Ethnic Germans who conceived their child in Germany. There is a difference between ethnicity and citizenship/residence.

Get a grip.

 

[Faun]

It was the president's grandfather who was born in Germany. Did Obama know where his grandfather was born? His father was a radical left wing Black African nationalist and a bigamist alcoholic who finally killed himself in a drunken car accident. Ironically Barry Sotoro Hussein's (ghost written) biography was titled "dreams of my father". His father hated the U.S. so what dreams was he referring to? I think you can get a copy at the dollar store.

President Obama knew the difference between his father and his grandfather.

He also knew the difference between reality and fantasy.

"57 states", need I say more?

Yes, you do. That’s one gaffe compared to thousands made by trump.

Trump said his father was “born in a very wonderful place in Germany...”

So what does that have to do with where he was conceived or why you can’t bring yourself to simply admit he fucked up the truth yet again?

 

[Andylusion]

Donald Trump is demented and deluded and he had the gall to question Obama's birth certificate.

How could anyone not know where their father was born?

The signs of Donald Trump's onset of dementia are becoming stronger and more frequent.

The GOP must be desperate for Donald Trump to stop blathering his nonsense and stop twittering.

Trump incorrectly says that his father was born in Germany

Trump incorrectly says that his father was born in Germany
BY JUSTIN WISE - 04/02/19 04:05 PM EDT

President Trump on Tuesday incorrectly said his father was from Germany while expressing frustration about the country’s payments toward NATO.
"Germany, honestly, is not paying their fair share," Trump said at the White House before noting that he has "great respect" for German Chancellor Angela Merkel and "great respect for the country."
"My father is German, was German," he continued. "Born in a very wonderful place in Germany, so I have a great feeling for Germany."
The Washington Post said it as least the third time Trump has made this particular claim about his father, Fred Trump, who was born in New York City in 1905.
Trump’s grandfather, Friedrich Trump, was born in Germany and emigrated to the U.S. in 1885, according to a report from the Post in 2016.
After finding success in the U.S., Friedrich Trump attempted to resettle in Germany, according to The Associated Press. But the Post added that he was expelled in 1905, apparently for emigrating illegally. He returned with his wife to the U.S. when she was pregnant with Fred Trump.
Trump made the claims about his father multiple times in 2018 while discussing relations between the U.S. and European countries.
"Don’t forget both of my parents were born in EU sectors, OK?" Trump said in an interview last July. "My mother was Scotland. My father was Germany."

So it was Trumps grand father, rather than father... and otherwise is completely accurate.

Right.... ok.....

Well that was well worth wasting my time reading about.....

Oh FFS! I was conceived in an apartment above a funeral home when my dad was stationed in Waco Texas, and born in Grand Island Nebraska when he was transferred to the military base there in 1945, so does that make me a Texan?

I will ask again.

You said that saying Fred Trump was German was accurate (since he was 'conceived' in Germany).

Yes or no, please?

Either it is accurate for everybody or nobody.

 

[PK1]

Is this seriously discussion-worthy news?

No. Trump obviously meant his grandfather.

Maybe not. If so, why does he keep repeating his error?
Trump is not good with details and often makes up shit that sounds “right” to him.
Why can’t he seek facts and get them straight when he speaks as POTUS?
Not a good example to schoolkids.

Perhaps Trump & his misguided supporters believe that “birth” begins at conception, that a zygote reflects their personality or “personhood”.

What EXACTLY has Trump done over the last two years? (and save the SCOTUS nomination - ANY Rep POTUS would have done the EXACT SAME THING - so it means nothing...he just had control of both houses to get his choices through).

And save the unemployment rate bull. He (rightly) called the U-3 a 'hoax' on the campaign trail. You cannot say something is a hoax and then turn around and take credit for the same thing as some big deal later.

Donald Trump Calls Unemployment Rate One of the "Biggest Hoaxes in Politics"

And save the DOW gains. The DOW has basically been flat for about a year and 2018 was the first negative DOW year since the Great Recession.

And save the GDP. He has had two years and only averaged 2.55% GDP growth. He promised 4 or 5%.

The Strange Ups and Downs of the U.S. Economy Since 1929

And save the trade deficit. That is worse now then when he took office.

https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/Press-Release/current_press_release/exh1.pdf

And save the fiscal deficit. That is FAR worse now then when he took office. So much for 'small government' Republicans.

https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts.pdf

And save the greater spending on the military unless you can include a link to unbiased, factual proof that America's defense was unsafe before he took office.

And save Obamacare rhetoric - because he promised to replace it with something much better. Now he announces he will not even attempt to replace it until after 2020. FAIL.

Trump says no Republican health-care plan until after 2020 elections

And save infrastructure. He could not even get that easy thing passed (which the Dems would LOVE).

And save 'America First'. He INCREASED the number of troops in the Afghanistan quagmire. Plus he promised to pull out of Syria. Now we learn that American troops will stay indefinitely.

As U.S. Adds Troops in Afghanistan, Trump’s Strategy Remains Undefined
About 200 US troops to stay in Syria following Trump's order for 'full' removal - CNNPolitics

He promised a deal with North Korea. No deal.

He has allowed Russia to place troops in Venezuela (I don't mind - but you Rep's HATE that stuff...Monroe Doctrine and all). Fail.
